Newsletter – 3 January 2024

Happy New Year to all !

Comms were not very good last week. Some of us were away, and most of us have not ventured out to Lymm Golf Club, put off by the wet and windy weather.

Last week, I gave you some duff gen that I had received from rumour control. Apparently, Martin Franks is not the outright winner of Division 1 of the Autumn League; he shares first place with Michael John and John Armstrong. Congratulations to all three.

Winter League

The Winter League will begin this Friday, 5th January. Paul Foster has created an updated handicap list. See the handicap tab and/or the Seniors’ noticeboard.

On full consideration of the results and outcomes of the Autumn League, the committee has decided not to reset the handicaps for the Winter League. The adjustments of handicaps will continue on the same basis as the Autumn League.

Individual Stableford – Friday 29th December

Reporter: Peter Willson

A grey, dank morning but most managed to stay dry, if slightly muddy, throughout the round. Confusion as usual on the 1st tee – “what are we playing today ?” 

The planned Texas Scramble game was dropped and a decision made to have an Individual Stableford – played under WHS handicaps off 95% – not sure why as it’s a Seniors unofficial competition.

A little shuffling of players and off we set some at a great pace.
By the time the last groups arrived back in the clubhouse the early starters had departed – without leaving cards. From the remaining 3 groups – 10 players –  7 cards submitted and the winner Barry Smith with an astounding 30 points over the 12 holes open. Congratulations – Barry

Monies were handed over with the exception of the missing early participants – please see Barry with your contributions to his healthy purse

Tee Booking schedule for tomorrow (Thursday 4 January)
